"In 1939 Hitler and Stalin signed a non-aggression pact and secretly agreed to divide Poland. This event, which enabled Germany to invade Poland without fear of Soviet interference, and 15 days later had the Red Army attack Poland from the east, forms the historical background against which the tale told in From Nazi Inferno to Soviet Hell was played out." "The story told in From Nazi Inferno to Soviet Hell turns the spotlight on an aspect of the World War II Jewish experience that will be unfamiliar to many readers, including historians and scholars. Its portrayal of the corruption, uncertainty, and constant danger of life under the Stalin regime is terrifying, yet a testimonial to the human spirit and man's ingenuity and will to survive."--Jacket.
